Blood drive scheduled

In the midst of the hustle bustle, it’s important to take a moment and remember that some of the best gifts don’t cost anything, and they can have a profound impact in our community.

LifeServe Blood Center relies on volunteer blood donors to give just a small amount of their time to ensure lifesaving blood products are on the shelf for hospital patients in need. In less than one hour, a blood donor can help save the lives of up to three different hospital patients. This holiday season, give the gift of life.

Celebrate the season of giving by donating blood at an upcoming blood drive.

• Osceola Community Blood Drive is planned 1 to 6 p.m. Friday, Dec.  5, at Lifepoint Assembly of God, 801 N. Fillmore St.

Sign up to save a life today.  Schedule a blood donation appointment online at lifeservebloodcenter.org or call 800-287-4903.

LifeServe Blood Center was established in April 2010 when The Blood Center of Iowa joined operations with Siouxland Community Blood Bank.

As one of the 15 largest blood centers in the country, LifeServe Blood Center provides blood and blood products to more than 100 hospitals located across Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota.
